TWILOLB 5/23/2016

Our second installment of TWILOLB with your host Yu "Tired of playing at Dr. Pepper Park" Darvish.

Epic Showdown of the Week

This week's ESOTW featured PattyV vs. Expos. Expos powered by double starts from MadBum and Hamels squeaks by PattyV in a match that came down to the final night. Expos hitters single handedly gave Expos the lead on Monday pounding 38 points. PattyV was playing catch-up all week after Tuesday's dominant outing by Bumgarner (9IP, 1ER, 11K, 0W - 31.50 points).

Strong Friday and Saturday showed there is some fight in that dog named PattyV. Heading into Sunday PattyV had a chance with a strong start by Scherzer but that door was quickly closed when Bumgarner shutdown the Cubs and Hamels buzz-sawed through the Astros lineup.

Get on the Bus Triple A Players of the week.


Pitchers
  • Jon Lester - 2.2IP, 5 ER. Lester got smoked by the Giants on Saturday. His outing before that was 7 innings of nohit baseball. Probably just a bump in the road.
  • Jon Gray - 3.1IP, 9ER and what's worse than that...it was against the Cardinals. Pretty sure after 5ER you just start pegging the Cardinals till you get tossed and the fans send you off with racial slurs. The Cardinal way.
  • Matt Harvey - 2.2 IP, 6ER, haven't seen him this upset since Game 5 of the 2015 World Series..ouch.


Unconfirmed Reports Lester left early to bag a buck

Harvey reacts to  his pitching line for the week.

Batters
  • Giancarlo "Don't call me Mike" Stanton leads this week's get on the Triple A Bus Players of the week. 1/21 with a single, 3 walks and a whopping 17 Ks...It's not like you can drop him either. UnderHochaevars hoping he breaks out of this slump soon
  • Brett Lawrie,  The Canadian Vampire went a sweet 2/20 with 1 single and 9 Ks. Maybe its time to ditch the "cool" mouthpiece Lawrie, Glad to see he at least toned down the eye black.
  • Yasmani Grandal. 2/2 1 Single and 10Ks. He has the Day-to-Day tag on him indicating they think he may need some rest to refocus.

Hot Stove Moves of the week



  • Hits for K's Drops Brad Miller in favor of Eduardo Nunez. Nunez goes 0-4...least it was zero and not negative.
  • WarningTrackPower picks up Tyler Wilson for a start on 5/19 goes 3.1 and then goes to the DL with a strained oblique.
  • Tyler White Heat Check 4 games -1 point 0/11 with 4 Ks. HvuSnMyBall would have been better off keeping Greg Holland at this point. Tyler is here to take your questions in the Edward Jones Chatting Cage.

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS Stump Grinder’s @ Warning Track Power The Grinder’s are led by an All Star cast of outfielders and should live up to their name with a bunch of gritty ball players. Warning Track Power is banking on MLB juicing the ball even more so it flies all the way out of the park. They will lean on their mashers. On the bump the Grinder’s roll out a strong collection of power arms. WTP is led by Thor acquired from the Grinder’s in the offseason and are hoping their strong bullpen will help once Greinke's arm finally falls off. Cousin Vinny says: Stump Grinder’s (-3) Prediction: Grinder’s 8 WTP 4 Expos @ UnderHochevars Will this be the year Trevor Story finally breaks out because if he does he will pair nicely with Bregman on that side of the infield. Hosmer and LeMahieu on the other side will balance out all of the K’s those two may rack up. UH trots out a collection of proven consistent bats hoping guys like Santana, Bruce, and ...

Rundown 6/12/2017 - Jcomp edition

It was a big week across the athletic landscape as several sports and collegiate softball crowned champions. Nadal finished an all-time great run through the French Open, the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, and Lebron ended talk of the Warriors and an undefeated postseason. Meanwhile, Patty took the LOL season lead for all of 36 hours until TJS could finish his 100 hour work week and get back to his computer to “adjust” the scoring. We’re 12 days into the second streak month of the LOL year. I feel a bit like Bob Gibson probably felt in 69 after the whiners got their way and the rules were changed. Luckily enough we’re entering prime Cricket season which, outside of Russian Basketball, is my sweetspot. You guys better get ready for a load of Chris Gayle Hot Takes. Triple Frown We’ve seen six different horses win the six triple crown races since American Pharoah in 2015. While being a borderline sports degenerate is a necessity in the League of Legends, do any of us really care abou...

Rundown 3/20/2017

Welcome to the League of Legends rundown. A weekly (hopefully) rundown of all the sweet action from the real League of Legends (not that nerdy computer game). Season 3 is well under way with several leagues already started. Baseball Draft This Weekend We are days away from the baseball draft. The Draft Order has been set. Round 1 1. HvuSnMyBball 2. Expos 3. UnderHochevars 4. WarningTrackPower 5. PhilliesPhanInKC 6. Josh's Team 7. PattyV 8. Here s My Doonation 9. Hits for Ks 10. Stump Grinder's 11. Matt's Team 12. Tower of Power Talk about a first pick waste. I doubt HvuSnMyball even shows up for the draft. Trout will spend the summer wasting away on a team out of it by April...actually this seems pretty true to life. Hopefully HvuSnMyBall lands Pujols as well. Results from my first Mock draft sitting in the 4 slot. 1. Kris Bryant (ChC - 1B,3B,OF) 2. Xander Bogaerts (Bos - SS) 3. Freddie Freeman (Atl - 1B) 4. Giancarlo Stanton (Mia - OF) ...
